From the co-op buildings on Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue to the townhouse side streets and the walk-ups east of Third Avenue, Upper East Side sidewalks carry heavy foot traffic every day. Easyfix Concrete NY repairs and replaces sidewalks, curbs and entrance concrete across the neighborhood.
Buildings here are often run by boards and managing agents who need clear paperwork and predictable work. We give a written scope, pull the DOT permit, keep the entrance usable and leave the frontage clean when the crew leaves.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission regulates sidewalk and curb replacement only in historic districts where historic paving is a significant feature; there, bluestone and granite are kept where possible and new concrete is tinted to match.

Upper East Side FAQs
Can you schedule sidewalk work around a building’s rules?
Yes. We work within the building’s allowed hours, coordinate with the super or doorman, and phase the pour so residents can get in and out.
Who is responsible for the sidewalk in front of a co-op?
The property owner, which for a co-op means the corporation. The board or managing agent usually receives the DOT notice and hires the contractor.
Can the City’s tree program fix a sidewalk in front of a co-op?
No. The Trees and Sidewalks program covers 1, 2 and 3 family homes only, so co-ops, condos and larger buildings repair tree damage themselves. Work next to a street tree needs a Parks Tree Work Permit, which we arrange.
